Solar charging  battery?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			By next Summer, my boat will be housed at a marina that does not have any  
electricity access at all.  Has anyone had any success charging with solar  
panels ( for a reasonable cost)? Obviously, I'd like to not have to haul the  
battery(s) home to put on a regular charger. 
 
The boat will be exposed to sunlight 7 days a week.  I intend to fish out of  
her two or three days each week, for periods of only 2 to 3 hours each.  I  
use the trolling motor sparingly.  I cannot run the "big"  ( 40 hp ) motor  
at high speed at all, as the lake is no-wake from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.  
which are the hours that I normally fish.  I won't be on the lake when one  
could run at high speed.   Any and all ideas appreciated. 
 
Thanks RichG TX/IL
